Antique 1841 U.S. American Flag Iroquois Beaded Pouch-Folk Art-Pre Civil War

Description

Very rare Iroquois or Native American beaded sewing or needle pouch with American flag from the 1840s..
The pouch has a hand sewn American flag on the inside that is signed and dated 1841 or 46 in pencil by the maker Mrs. Weber....
The outside seems to have
been made by the
Iroquois or other Eastern Woodland tribe and it is in very good condition
for
over 170 years with only minor bead loss.
The beads are turquois blue, translucent green, white, pink, red and clear seed beads on velvet.
There are six pieces of material from that time period which were probably used for patches but I do not sew?...so please judge for yourself.
A rare one of a kind folk art piece from before the Civil War and right around the time of the Mexican War.
